But $20, I think, so not horrifically overpriced. 
 

Depends on how many animals there is included in the set😜

I searched for information on the 60446 modular galactic spaceship and found that it consists of 717 pieces.

And it is $80, right? Based on it having a similar PPP to the command rover, I think we can assume it will have a Technic frame as the core, both for durability and to allow for of swapping modules, and that it will be around the same size. 
For the overall structure, I suspect that there will be a cockpit module, an engine module, and a central body (with interior) that makes up the bulk of the build. I am hoping that there will also be attachment points on the sides of the body section, to allow pods to connect. 
Two cockpits and engines would be really nice, but I doubt that will happen at 717 pieces - Maybe two of the set can be combined into a large ship with dual cockpits and engines, as well as an expanded interior and more side pod attachments (if those are included)? This would only work, however, if the ship has a delta shape with large enough 'wings' to allow for more than just a central rear attachment point (I am thinking of a combination of the SP2 and SP3 command ships for the shaping).

Thanks for the news! 🙂

The problem I have with this year's City "Space (Port)" sets and very supposably the upcoming Galactic Spaceship next year, too, is that they look too futuristic to fit in a City layout.

Btw: It seems that the sets 60458 til 60460 will be soap box derby sets. In the one hand this sounds really promising since we haven't had any soap boxes yet. On the other hand there'll already be these Formula 1 sets - so the winter 2025 wave is going to be majorly racing based. What I don't like since this is very one-sided.

I don't like the space theme as it is elaborated WITHIN City series. It should be a separate theme off.

Within CITY series space-theme sets should inlcude facilities and vehicles that might be located on earth, not space stations on other planet.

 

Indeed, City series is anything but a city.

Yeah! I think that's what people's point is. If they're going to call it City, they need to make it city related and not all this out of the city/other planet exploration stuff. But most users here don't really see that.

I completely agree. Therefore imo summer last year was a great wave since it included a lot of locations and buildings located inside a city. I hope that the same will happen in summer 2025 - since things like a public swimming pool, a gym, a skate shop, a sushi bar, a new toy shop and a decent school are overdue.

What I said had been my point for the many years I've been on this forum. I came in during the late 2010s when the oversaturation of police and outdoorsy stuff for City was a thing. First post was an argument that I had with several users who think that City was fine the way it is. Imo. 2022 good full wave. For the past two summers, we had good waves too. 

What I'm preparing for are the vehicles for 2025 to look pretty odd as they gave power to the former designer of Speed Champions sets to design City. I use older vehicles for my town instead. Not a fan of the fenders and splashers on the newer vehicles. Maybe I'm just nitpicking. But that's the situation. Imo, the theme itself needs an overhaul.

I agree, but only because I want a proper Space theme! If that is not an option, I am willing to have Space be a recurring City subtheme - Especially since the Space Port subtheme was beginning to feel stagnant due to real-world technology (other subthemes get increasingly modern vehicles, new colour-schemes, etc; space port has had basically the same rockets and shuttles for the past 30+ years!).

LOL! Police, Fire, Great Vehicles and Explorers is a thing for City that happens every year now. And that's how it's been since the late 2010s. I will admit that I miss the early HEY generation where City used to explore with different lines of work every year instead of just dropping the same thing.

Subthemes have recurred since the very beginning of Town, then through World City and City proper. Coastguard has recurred periodically since at least 1989, and there were Coast Guard-like rescue helicopters before then. Space has recurred in Town/City since 1990, Airport since 1985, Construction since 1980, Racing since 1980, monster trucks since 1987, etc. There never have been any days when no subtheme was recurring. There never were any days when it was just police and great vehicles. That's absurd.

Agree! We need two related space themes. City Space and Space Space. Give people the best of both as stand alones that can also work seamlessly together for the people who want the full series.

Two space themes wouldn't work - they would both fail as they would cannibalize each others sales.

I said the same thing when City was the police set oversaturation theme. Given that police is easy to ignore now in the theme, Lego apparently thought the same.

Ikr! Lego is really trying too hard with the City theme. 

I think Lego promotes certain subjects in the City theme because kids want to see lines of work that they generally can't witness as soon as they walk out of their houses; thus the police, fire, space and exploration sets. The lines of work usually portrayed through town and great vehicles are lines of work they can see any time (i.e. tour bus, burger truck, garbage truck, etc) so City doesn't promote those as much as they do the emergency, space and explorers sets.

City Space theme I understand because it's base set is based in town.

Wonder when we'll see pictures

I like the city space but it did show (alongside the explorers sub theme and even the farm stuff) how inaccurate the name has become. City nowadays is a bit of an umbrella theme. What would have been separate actions themes for space and adventurers now fall under its breadth. And I mean the current sci-fi space, the more modern day inspired stuff we got back in 2011 was more of actual city stuff compared to the subthemes we're getting now that would have been their own themes years ago.

Eh not exaclty. Designers intend to interrupt this City Space subtheme as set in distant future. However, its animation company’s decision to put Space sets base in present-day town. I read that article somehwere.

City theme itself is well known for wackiness.  Who have seen crooks stealing ice cream truck?

anyways, I appreciate that they include space and adventurers sets in City.

Haha, not City animals in space!!  I’m a huge fan of in-house themes like City, Monkie Kid, Ninjago, Dreamzzz. I also love Rock Raider, Mars Mission, Power Miners, Adventurers, Castle, Pirates, etc.  I’m not too crazy about licensed themes, tho I collect dinosaur and fantasy creatures from Harry Potter, Jurassic World.
